Understanding that many on this forum focus primarily on learning and becoming an expert on men's watches there are a fair number of members that have sizable collections of women's watches.

I think threads like these can be a nice resource for future watch purchases and searches. A few of my favorite watches in my collection are ones I first noticed in the WRUW Today thread.

Up first is my oldest wrist watch in my collection. This one was produced some time around 1945. I picked it up for next to nothing, loved the blue second hand and the overall age. Needs a crown, a service, a crystal, and better strap but I enjoy it as it is for now. I've wound it a little in the past and it does run which was nice to see 😀

Given the amount of markings on the case back, I believe it was well cared for and maintained. Someone certainly cared a lot for this watch over the years.

After being scarred by a cal 630, those older sweep seconds movements scare me, getting the driving wheel over the third wheel off safely scares me on womens movements. I turned a 630 into a very expensive 620 in one fell swoop.

I suspect you might also need a new stem by the way.

I have a feeling there will be a few pieces that need replacement 😀 In the end if it never actually runs again it's still a nice little piece to look at.

I love that Constellation, I'd love to track down a nice looking one for my wife.

All 14-karat, two of them are Sapphettes, two of them bought for scrap (not the marquise one which is NOS), the yellow one, late 1950s, the other two, mid 1960s. The round one with the tinted pastel blue synthetic sapphire crystal is her favourite.

My only Omega ladies watch - a lovely donation from a generous forum member,
Bless his good heart. Alas those old pics don’t quite do justice.

Manual wind Geneve Dynamic. My mom liked this one so much that I had to find an automatic version so she wouldn't steal mine 😁

cross post from another thread, but the 3 autos I refreshed for the missus.

All very similar movements but actually all different, with the chronometer grade in the c-case, the standard in the seamaster and the higher frequency movement in the gold geneve.

I was initially very intimidated by these movements but i was quickly won over by the compactness and all of the features.

This Omega with diamonds and gold bracelet from my wife's grandmother- no other info. Any thoughts on date, other identifying info?
Works well

will have a reference number and more information inside the caseback.

There is a notch for a caseknife at the bottom of the caseback, however if you haven't used one before/arent confident I would suggest going to a watchmaker to get it opened up as that case is in excellent condition.

Its always a little sad seeing scarred cases.
